What is alloy wheel diamond cutting?

Diamond cutting is a precision process where a CNC lathe skims the face of the wheel to create a high-shine, factory-grade finish, sealed with lacquer for protection.

Are all wheels suitable for diamond cutting?

No. Some wheels may have been cut before or have design features that make them unsuitable. We assess every wheel before beginning the process.

What does a diamond-cut finish look like?

It has a shiny, almost mirror-like metal finish with visible machining lines, often combined with painted inserts for contrast.

How do I care for diamond cut wheels?

Avoid harsh wheel cleaners and pressure washers. Hand wash gently to maintain the lacquer protection and avoid corrosion or peeling.

sleek diamond cut finish

While powder coating stands out as the most popular and enduring alloy
wheel refurbishment service, there’s also a strong demand for the sleek
diamond cut finishes. Numerous cars come equipped with wheels featuring
this polished look.

24 Wheels 2 Go excels in replicating the coveted diamond cut finish in Birmingham. However, it’s essential to note that diamond cutting is a meticulous process that requires more time compared to a standard powder coat refurbishment. Unlike powder coating, attempting to touch up or perform a mobile refurbishment on a diamond cut wheel is impractical due to the precision involved, necessitating the use of a lathe.

Corrosion is a common issue with diamond cut wheels. The challenge lies
in applying lacquer to a shiny surface, as gravity can complicate achieving
a lasting finish. Water infiltration through small stone chips beneath the
lacquer eventually leads to deterioration, resulting in a cloudy appearance
over time.

Diamond cutting entails the precise removal of a thin layer of alloy from the
wheel using specialised lathing equipment. However, it’s important to bear
in mind that diamond cut wheels have a limited number of refurbishments
since excessive alloy removal can occur over time. For a robust and
enduring refurbishment, you might want to consider our powder coat
option. Our in-house diamond cutting lathe ensures the highest quality
finish with a quick turnaround time and is the newest technology currently
available on the market. The diamond cutting process can be applied to
both the full face and lip of the wheel, and when combined with a base coat
paint, it produces truly impressive finishes.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t find the words to adequately describe how impressed I was with the service given to me. I had one wheel done at a time, so several trips were involved, but it was enjoyable thanks to the helpful attitude of all the staff. I only have an aged Polo, but it’s my love, and the R-Line wheels look brand new. They can usually complete a set of wheels in a day, I chose to have one done at a time. I would definitely revisit them if necessary and want to highly recommend 24 Wheels 2 Go. Thanks guys.

FAQs About Our Birmingham Diamond Cutting

What is diamond cutting for alloy wheels?

Diamond cutting is a precision process that involves removing a thin layer of alloy from the wheel using specialised lathing equipment. This creates a sleek, polished finish that many premium vehicles come equipped with from the factory. Our in-house diamond cutting lathe ensures the highest quality finish with quick turnaround times.

How long does the diamond cutting process take?

Diamond cutting is a meticulous process that requires more time compared to a standard powder coat refurbishment. While we can typically complete a set of wheels in a day, the process cannot be rushed as precision is essential for achieving the perfect finish.

Can all wheels be diamond cut?

Not all wheels are suitable for diamond cutting. Wheels that have been previously repaired extensively or have significant structural damage may not be candidates for this process. Additionally, wheels that have already undergone multiple diamond cutting refurbishments may have insufficient alloy remaining for another cut.

How many times can a wheel be diamond cut?

Diamond cut wheels have a limited number of possible refurbishments since each process involves the precise removal of a thin layer of alloy. Excessive alloy removal can occur over time, potentially compromising the wheel’s structural integrity. Our technicians can assess your wheels and advise on the best approach.

Can diamond cutting be done as a mobile service?

No, unlike powder coating, diamond cutting cannot be performed as a mobile service. The process requires precision equipment including a specialised lathe, which we have in-house at our Birmingham facility. This ensures consistent, high-quality results that cannot be achieved with mobile setups.

Do 24 Wheels 2 Go offer any alternative finishes if my wheels aren't suitable for diamond cutting?

Yes. If your wheels aren’t suitable for diamond cutting due to previous extensive repairs or insufficient remaining alloy, we offer excellent powder coating alternatives. Our powder coat option provides a robust and enduring refurbishment that many customers find equally impressive. Our technicians can assess your wheels and recommend the best approach for your specific situation.
